Lure coursing is when 3 sighthounds (most often the same breed)
run after a lure that is set up on a pully system in a large
field. The lure zigs and zags around and the dogs are scored in
their speed, endurance, agility, enthusiam, and follow. The judge
can tell them apart by the 3 different coat colors they are
assigned to wear, either pink, blue or yellow. Kayin's Page
